A latke recipe? in October? Really? Who says latkes are only for Hanukkah? Not me. Pan-fried patties made of vegetables are good any day, especially when the combination of the vegetables results in such a pretty color palette. As I have mentioned, the kale in my garden has escaped the jaws of the groundhog. Looking…

Lentils With Cucumbers, Chard, And Poached Egg
I wasn’t feeling well today; I spent much of it asleep. My stomach had been unsettled for a few days, but today food was not appealing to me and I was dizzy. So my plans for our dinner needed to change. I decided eggs would be good for me, and for some reason I was…
Cauliflower Pasta al Forno
Thanks to the return of the groundhog, my broccoli and cauliflower plants have been decimated. So, I am back to buying them from local farmers. It is so sad to see my plants with their top sections bitten off. The groundhog, however, does not seem to like swiss chard or curly kale. So those are…
Date Glazed Orange Chicken
I want to share a recipe I used for one of our Rosh Hashanah dinners. It has wonderful flavors, but was simple to make so it could be made for any dinner where you want to enjoy the flavors of dates and oranges. It does take a little prep ahead of time. The first…
Fresh Lima Bean Gratin
I was not able to get lima beans planted this year and I have been really missing having had a lima bean harvest. So, when Cam and I went to the farm store, we both jumped on the bushels of lima beans. Now that I have so many beans in my refrigerator, I need to…
Pasta with Kale Pesto and Roasted Butternut Squash
Time to use the first of the butternut squash from my garden. It was “parents night out”, with Cam spending the evening at Tae Kwan Do. So, our version of night out – a good dinner, a walk with the dog, and a movie rental. We finally watched The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel –…
Zucchini Tian with Curried Bread Crumbs
This was going to be my last dish with the zucchini from my garden, so I wanted it to be a good one. This recipe intrigued me – curry AND rosemary – I wanted to make it, but I wasn’t positive that it was going to actually taste good. Well, it lived up to the hopes…
Khoresh Bademjun va Kadoo (Persian Eggplant & Zucchini Stew)
I had a medium-sized eggplant from a local farmer and a tiny one from my garden, but not enough for Khoresh Bademjun. What to do? I really wanted Persian food. Of course, I also had plenty of zucchini from my garden. Why not try a Khoresh (stew) sing both vegetables? Since our vegetarian daughter was…
Pasta with Tomato Pesto & Corn
To be honest, I was not expecting much when I made this dish. The thought of a tomato-based pesto intrigued me, but I did not expect the nice pesto flavor that the sauce actually had. It had a rich texture from the nuts, a bright flavor from the basil and fresh tomatoes, a great bite…
